Spring Quilt Market 2012

I just returned from International Quilt Market – the fabric industry’s spring trade show. This was my second opportunity to attend Market (last year was my first in my home town, Salt Lake City.) This year it was held in Kansas City. (Half the weekend I had the song, “Everything’s Up To Date in Kansas City” running through my head. Name that musical!)

I am soooo jealous of all the ladies that are able to go to Quilt Market. Someday I hope to go. Maybe I should add that to my bucket list, LOL!!! It looks like soooo much fun!!!<br />Bridgidk@verizon.net
